TYPICAL SMOG SHOP SCAM. Never in my decades of getting smogged have a seen a grease monkey try so…read morehard to fail and smog test. Dork said he found a couple crack hoses and failed me. Those hoses are only a couple years old and nothing wrong with them. Pure upsell and they get you by failing you and they getting the work to fix it. STAY AWAY if you don't want to get scammed. Reporting these losers to BBB and any other agency I can think of with pics of the hoses and invoice. Also, it just passed smog not that long ago, I'm selling so these scammers saw an opportunity to put the squeeze on.

Used to go to Vista Smog Center (one of the techs there, Lenny I think, sometimes quotes dishonestly). No more of that, this Kwic Smog was honest and affordable.

Finally found an auto shop that is completely honest, which is rare to find.We had previously taken…read moremy Infiniti to another shop and were told it needed a significant amount of additional work that did not seem right.Carlos and his staff were professional, straightforward, and helpful from start to finish. They gave me an accurate diagnosis and fixed only what actually needed to be repaired, with no upsells or runaround.Carlos is highly skilled and clearly knows his profession. He is organized, reliable, and it is great to have a shop we can confidently trust. Moving forward, we will never take our vehicles anywhere else--this is our go-to shop from now on.I highly recommend this shop in Encinitas to anyone looking for honest, reliable mechanics.Thank you, Carlos, for taking care of our Infiniti.

Encinitas Foreign & Domestic Auto Repair was a complete disaster…read more This place bought a cheap aftermarket suspension pump for my Mercedes Benz SL 500 without telling me, which blew out in less than 6 months after charging me more than $5,000 to install it. As the professional mechanics they should have known the cheap aftermarket suspension pump would not be compatible with my Mercedes. Then when I brought my car back to have them fix my car based on their "RunCarRun" policy, they charged me another $1,200+ dollars even though the mechanics couldn't fix my car at all. They actually called me to tell me that they had to give up on trying to fix my car because they did not know how to fix my Mercedes suspension pump. This place is a complete ripoff and is not a professional repair shop. I went to Charlie's Foreign and Domestic Auto Repair about 2 blocks away in Encinitas and they actually fixed my car with a Mercedes suspension pump for less money and my car is still running more than 24 months later. GO TO Charlie's Auto Repair!!

Years of 5-star service from Drive is what I have had, and now finally, this review…read more Like most of you reading this, I have a BMW, in fact I have had many. The last 3 have all been serviced by Drive in SB. Best decision ever. This review is prompted from Drive, and especially Brian for going not beyond, but WAY beyond. Let me say that if you go to Drive, you will get fairly priced (not expensive, not cheap, fair and affordable!) service. You will get the best customer service experience you have ever had, and I can promise you, IF by some chance something isn't what you want, they WILL work to resolve it. There is never a need to put a negative review for them, I know for a fact, they will go to the end of the earth to resolve anything, they are on your side. Case in point, my 2013 needed valve cover gasket, new radiator and other things. 3K of repairs. But I have a purchased warranty. So in all cases your mechanic has to call them and get the repairs approved. They approved the radiator but not the 2K for the valve stuff. Brian called me to notify me about this.. Remember he was on the phone with them for quite some time, on hold, then the adjuster, etc.. So I called, same answer. Urghh!!! Brian suggested another way to approach it and offered to try. Guess what, another 1K towards the repairs. That is the kind of thing Drive will do for you. I go there for every single thing for my BMW. I have never ever been anything but 100% satisfied. I never have to worry, or stress. What more can you say.
